Currently, 4 in 10 young Tasmanians will not complete year 12. That means that in a year 10 class of 25 students, 10 will not go complete schooling.

What we’re balancing
What we’re balancing • Evaluation for accountability and evaluation for strategic learning • Who’s power and voice in decision making ? • The ‘system’ enabling time for capability building and quality of outcomes • The balcony and the dance-floor • Sandpit or whole playground for early stage, community based discovery
Signs of promise
Signs of promise • Communities starting to drive the initiative • Outcomes for community members through the co-design process itself • Leadership in the communities making this happen • Context specific processes – not a one-size fits all across 6 communities • Umbrella evaluation strategy – bringing it all together
